Reporter, Sharon Goodluck •
In January, we students started
out the New Year and made re
solutions which we all hoped to
keep.
January 16 and 17 we had our
semester exams. Everyone tried to
get some last minute studying done
and Just hoped for the best.
A week later we received our
report cards. Some were shocked,
others pleased. The majority re
solved to study harder.
January 30, there was a Seme
ster Dance sponsored by the Sen
iors. There was some Square Dan
cing and also some jitter-bugging.
Cookies and punch were served at
refreshment time. All had a nice
evening.
The first day of February came,
. and found everyone saying, "Just
think, today is February Ist."
We Seniors had a meeting and
discussed our Senior Trip. Every
one had in mind a place to go. Would
it be the Philippines or Hawaii?
But financially, we weren't equip
ped to go to the Philippines or
Hawaii.
The Annual Staff has been work
ing very hard to get the "dummy"
together, including; getting the-
Seniors* favorite sayings, ambi
tions, how many clubs they've been
members of, and etc.
The Juniors held a Bake Sale
in the school Auditorium, February
6. There were different sorts of
pasteries, cakes, cookies, dough
nuts, and home made candy. Thanks
*o the grade-school children, who
ight most of the pastry.
February 7, we students saw <*
very good movie in the auditorium.
It was called "Sergeant York". It
was enjoyed by all. Half of the time
the viewers were inclined to laugh.
February 22, the Senior Soda
lists left for Albuquerque to attend
a Sodality Convention in the wee
hours of the morning. Two cars
went, one from Shiprock, which had
6 Seniors girls, and the other from
Waterflow, which had 5 Senior girls
and 1 Senior boy.
The Convention opened at ffcOO
A. M at Saint Mary's High School
with the usual registration. A Gen
eral Session was held at 10:15 with
welcoming speeches from the Saint
Mary's Prefect, Monsignors, and
Reverends.
These were the ten topics which
were discussed in groups: L Eu
charistic Crusade Challenge; 1L
Marriage: A Challenge to Soda
lists; 111. A Challenge in Commu
nication Arts; IV. Catholic Youth
Adorers; V. Our Lady: Teenage
Model; VI. Sodalists Challenge on
the College Campus; VIL The Blue
Army vs. The Red Army; VIII. The
Sodalists; Here and Now; IX. The
Christian Doctrine Apostolate; and

Each of the Seniors attended one
of these discussions and reported
on it at the next Sodality Meeting.
Right after lunch the Prefects
of all the Sodalities attended a
meeting. The other Sodalists
toureu ivlaiseis or Clu Town or

March 1, the Juniors had a
Tamale Dinner to raise money for
the Prom. The dinner was deli
cious and enjoyed by all, grade
school and high-s cho o 1 alike.
"Well done, Juniors.''
March 17, the Juniors received
their long-awaited class-rings and
were all excited. They are gold,
with the Juniors’ initials on the
outside and a heart with an S in
the middle.
The Ladies Altar Society held a
Bake Sale for the benefit of the
S.H,A. Seniors for their Senior
Trip. All the members of the Altar
Society and the Seniors brought
some baked good. The Bake Sale
was held in the Post Office in
Shiprock. Cheryl Levaldo, Allene
H
There is an estimated 2,500,-
000,000 board feet of commercial
timber on the Navajo Reservation.
Johnson and Sharon Goodluck
stayed in the Post Office until
it was about closed and sold every
bit of the pasteries. Thanks to all
the people who bought something
from us.
The Seniors at school are prac
ticing for their Senior Class-play.
The name of it is “Midsummer
Night’s Scream”. It is a comedy,
and will be held April 9, 1961.
I*ll give you a short summery on
it: It’s about a group of high
school students who are putting on a
play out-of-doors to show the
town’s people that the younger set
need a Youth Center. They stumble
upon a mansion with a stage in it
while they were looking for shelter
during a rainstorm. While they are
exploring it, they find the stage,
and the owner finds them and or
ders them out. But they make a
deal with him and get to use the
stage for rehearsing and to put
on the actual play. Mr. Courtenay,
the owner, asks the boys to move
some old furniture for him and by
accident they drop a blue sofa and
he gets mad and orders them out
again. Squid, one of the boys who
helped drop the sofa, asks Mr.
Courtenay to look in the sofa but
still he orders them out. Later on
he looks in the sofa and finds the
money that his father hid from him
and he returns to his good spirits
and invites them to use his old
mansion as the Youth Center. The
old stage is also haunted by some
old actor ghosts and a moving
chair.
I’m sure the Seniors will make
a success of it and the people who
attend will be pleased.

THE LOVE OF GOD
Million* of people even reli
gious people are afraid of God
and are struggling to earn His
favor. They suppose that salva
tion is the reward of showing
enough love to Him.
If only they would believe what
God Himself says: that if we are
ever saved it will be entirely be
cause HE LOVED US and gra
ciously provided for our salva
tion.
The Apostle Paul, in the Bible,
called God “THE GOD OF
LOVE (II Cor. 13:11) and John
declared that “GOD IS LOVE”
(I John 4:8 1 . Thus John goes
on to say:
“HEREIN IS LOVE. NOT
THAT WE LOVED GOD. BUT
THAT HE LOVED US and sent
His Son to be the propitiation for
our sins” (I John 4:10).
This is why salvation is so
often called a “gift” in the Bible.
It is the expression of GOD’S
LOVE TO SINNERS. And so
St. Paul tells us:
‘‘(We) were by nature the

and Recreation. Her hobbies are

children of wrath, even as others.
BUT GOD. WHO IS RICH IN
MERCY. FOR HIS GREAT
LOVE WHEREWITH HE
LOVED US. even when we were
dead in sins, hath quickened us
together with Christ. By grace
ye are saved” (Eph. 2:3-5).
“ ■ • • that THE KIND
NESS AND LOVE OF GOD
OUR SAVIOR TOWARD MAN
appeared, not by works of right
eousness which we have done,
hut according to HIS MERCY
He saved us ... ” (Tit. 3:4,5).
Does all this mean that God
overlooks sin or condones it? By
no means! In His love He PAID
for our ns on Calvary’s cross
that He might be just and the
Justifier of him that believeth in
Jesus” (Rom. 3:26). This is why
we read in Rom. 5:8:
“ . . . COD COMMENDETH
HIS LOVE TOWARD US, IN
THAT WHILE WE WERE YET
SINNERS CHRIST DIED FOR
US.”
